Sound bars what's wrong with them?

[The Running Man]

Hi I am looking at a sound bar with sub for myself but I have read things such as sound lag via optical connects, or BT dropping out.

When I look on eBay 99% of them for sale are seller refurbished items. I mean do these things just break? Are they all faulty?

Does anyone have a recommendation I don't want to spend over say £130 ideally...

Yeah I mean I use my old creative gigaworks t20 on my tv.. Seems to do the job but was thinking about a receiver, but decent ones are way expensive. I thought a sound bar might be just right, especially one with a separate sub.

But why would the sound need adjusting +\- 10ms? Is is the post processing in the TVs themselves that creates the need for a delay or something?

Just bought a Panny SC-HTE80EB-K speaker board for £94.99 and am blown away by the quality and it fits perfectly under my tv.

Wow this looks like a great option thanks. Where did on buy for 95quid?
